Background Information
In nature, plants are triggered to flower by
any number of factors. It might be warm
weather. It might be the beginning of the
rainy season. Or it might be the amount of
available light. Some plants, such as the
kalanchoe plant or poinsettia plant, time
their blooms to the amount of sunlight they
receive. When the hours of sunlight
declines, they are triggered to bloom.
These are called "short day" plants. Others,
such as spinach, are triggered to bloom
only after the days stretch out to a certain
length. These are called "long-day plants."
This trait in plants is called
photoperiodism. It simply means the
plant's reproductive cycle is timed to the
amount of light available.
Most home growers will never have to worry about
photoperiods, but there are some cases where it matters.
For example, poinsettias don't naturally bloom around
Christmas. Instead, they are forced to bloom by keeping
them in the dark for a certain number of hours each day
in the winter to trick them into blooming for the holiday.
The same is true for kalanchoes: they can be forced into
bloom any time of the year simply by keeping them in
darkness for 14 hours a day. That's why you can find
flowering kalanchoe any time of the year, but they'll only
bloom in the fall or early spring on their own.
